What does a "god shaped hole" look like? Sounds like an antigen receptor site that men and alcohol can fit into perfectly.
It may sound weird, but there are people who can literally ‘feel the presence of God’.
Not sure what it is, if it’s some kind of weird chemical thing that creates the feeling, or perhaps a twist of the mind. But the ones I’ve talked to mention ‘feeling it in their heart’ and such.
To them it’s very real and it profoundly weirds them out that some people can’t feel it. And, in typical human fashion, they tend to assume those people aren’t trying hard enough/doing it right/are fundamentally broken.
I can give a serious answer to this as a former Christian conservative.
It basically is "belonging". If you're not part of a group of people who care about you, going to a church where everyone cares about you might feel "good".
Of course, if you do have friends, then you likely won't have this hole.
Also being an super insular and introverted bastard also helps prevent such needs. I don't need church the cats do just fine.
It also works when you just don't have time to be sad about the shittiness of your situation. Haven't had friends in years but i do have obligations that keep me so busy I don't have room for feeling bad about it.
Hey if thats what keeps you going, but for me the only thing keeping me from going full hermit mode out in the Mojave is that I like running water and internet, electricity and air conditioning are a lot easier nowadays with solar and harbor freight batteries.
Some people just kinda need ritual and other elements of religion in order to feel their best, especially during difficult times. Community is another common need.
Many people use a variety of things to attempt to assuage unmet needs, psychological issues, and lack of personal fulfillment. Drugs, casual sex, religious devotion, overwork, and obsession over something (especially something like a sobriety program) are common ways of avoiding introspection to figure out what you need or doing the hard work to get it.
Christians love to tell people that alcohol and casual sex are coping mechanisms for lacking religion, but they never point out that sometimes religion is a coping mechanism for lack of casual sex.
Purpose is the name of the hole.
It looks like an anus, because that's what it is, its their assholes. They love shoving things in their assholes including both alcohol and young men.
Explains the rapists priests
God is shaped like a tree, and the receptors are CB1 and CB2
(If you haven't, read Snowcrash, it explores the concept of Religion being an emergent property of the way our brains are built...and there's nuclear powered cyborg dogs)
There's also vagina dentatas (what a wonderful phrase)
Hearing those words to the tune of Hakuna Matata (what a wonderful phraaaaase!)
yup, that was the intention
